If the quality writing and animation are on par with SAC, then i'm all for it.
I was greatly disappointment in the last couple attempts to reboot Appleseed. I don't get warm fuzzy feelings someone involved in those is doing them.

I'd really love to see Shirow write some more original IP. The anime have been increasingly suffering from one of the major problems of the live-action movie: nothing new to say.
The Ghost In The Shell and Apple Seed manga are some of the most interesting conceptual sci-fi of the last 30 years, but simply recombining their elements endlessly is getting me down.
Does anyone know what Shirow is actually up to??
